Then again, networks are starved for weekly live programming, so maybe Peacock won't care much. I mostly think that explains the exorbitant jumps in rights fees over the past few years despite declining ratings.

I think this is a fair assessment when it comes to network broadcast/cable tv. But when it comes to Peacock, I'm not sure that applies. WWE is just a bit part of giant conglomeration of programming. Peacock has 54 million subscribers, how many are there specifically because of WWE? I don't have the service, but I do have Netflix and I can't think of one single thing they could drop that would make me unsubscribe.

Right?  If Peacock starts emulating Netflix's "2 or 3 seasons and done" model, WWE is in trouble.

This is very random, but has anyone else here gotten a Twitter DM from Konnan? My phone went off at 2:30 this morning, and it's fucking K-Dawg asking "Do u listen to my podcast"

Did you mention him in a Twitter post or like a post from someone else that tagged his account? That happened to me recently after I posted about a Between The Sheets episode that was going over WWF House Show results from 1992 and it got revealed that Konnan wrestled frigging Pete Doherty at one of the Cape Cod Melody Tent house shows.

I got the same exact "do you listen to my podcast?" DM within the next 24 hours, I wouldn't be surprised if his social media managers just vanity-search and send those to anyone that tags him in a post.

A little over a year ago for me. Linked me to it and told me to make sure to share and subscribe and that he would shout me out on it in the upcoming weeks or something.

Remember those tremendous rights and lefts Shane O' Mac peppered Randy Orton with, leaving the Viper dazed and reeling?  I need to see Shane showing off his sweet-ass striking in UWFI rules matches in PPW.  Shane vs Hoodfoot, Isaiah Broner, or Flash Thompson.

...Flash Thompson is a classic supporting character from Spider-Man. I'd be interested to see Shane fight him too, but I'm not sure how it could happen.

EDIT:

Thinking about it some more, if we're booking Shane vs classic thorns in Spidey's side, it should totally be J. Jonah Jameson. Flash would murder Shane. Jameson vs Shane is an interesting fight.
